James McMurtry “The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy”

June 16, 2025 Dean Nardi 2
Never a shortage of incorrigible characters and unsettling images. For 36 years and 14 albums, Texas songwriter James McMurtry has, in a sense, followed in his father’s footsteps, presenting his brand of country noir music as […]

Lukas Nelson “American Romance”

June 13, 2025 Helen Jones 1
A confident solo debut that proves there’s more to him than just his last name. Being the son of Willie means Lukas Nelson knows a little something about pedigree, and for his first solo studio album […]

Live Review: Peggy Seeger, The Haymarket, Basingstoke – 5th June 2025

June 13, 2025 Darren Lumbroso 0
Peggy Seeger is a veritable force of nature; there can’t be many 89-year-olds who would set off on an 18-date tour of the UK and Ireland. The undertaking is billed as a “Final Farewell and 90th […]

North Mississippi All Stars “Still Shakin'”

June 13, 2025 FredArnold 0
Ever-changing line-up but still the same cracking roots rock from the Dickinson Brothers and their guests. North Mississippi All Stars (NMAS) were founded in 1996 in, not surprisingly, Mississippi, in a little town in, not surprisingly, […]

Live Review: Ron Sexsmith, Water Rats, London – 4th June 2025

June 13, 2025 Martin Fisher 0
Canadian Ron Sexsmith’s previous visit to London was a multifaceted one. He and his band were recording at Eastcote Studios, and while there, they played a show at the showbiz-drenched, regal hangout, the London Palladium. En […]

Bella White “A Sign In The Weather”

July 17, 2026 0
A strong third album from the rootsy Canadian “Appalachian” artist from New Orleans showing raw emotion and a degree of post-breakup positivity. As you listen to each song on Bella White’s new studio album you feel […]

Interview: What Taylor Bickett is shooting for

July 16, 2026 0
Nothing I Can’t Undo is such a deeply earnest, empathetic and personal album that captures exactly what a solo debut is supposed to be by introducing us, in full, to Taylor Bickett, a 20-something singer/songwriter from […]

Simone Felice + Diana DeMuth, The Slaughtered Lamb, London, 15th January 2020

January 30, 2020 0

Classic Clips: Bobbie Gentry “Ode to Billie Joe” – BBC, 1968

May 9, 2025 1
Classic clips might not get any more classic than this one. In the summer of 1967, a smoky Southern voice drifted out of transistor radios and into the American consciousness with a story that refused to […]

Kodiak Island “The Golden Section” (Musical Bear Records, 2016)

January 12, 2017 0
Despite a promising beginning, this latest record from Jo Bartlett (this time with a band in tow) quickly descends into little more than a genre exercise. The opener Frozen In Time and Remembered Days are both […]
